Brynn for a girl?

[onceuponavino]

What do people thin of Brynn? Will either be Brynn Elizbath or Brynn Alana.

I have heard it a few times on American tv shows or in films, so I definitely think it's more common there! But I really really like it and would be interested in some input :)

TBH it looks like there are vowels missing and sounds like a mispronunciation of Brian. Sorry OP I don't like it.

I like it for a boy, not so much for a girl. I love Quinn for a girl tho.

Bryn is a Welsh male name - immediately makes me think of the tall, big-built, deep-voiced, bearded, bass-baritone opera singer, Bryn Terfel.

I don't think adding an extra 'n' makes Bryn into a girl's name.

I misread it as Bryan

I'd think someone had misspelled Bryan too, sorry OP, it doesn't sound at all like a girl's name

I'm another Welsh lady and it's a boy's name to me. Alana is nicer than "Elizbath" (is that how you'd spell Elizabeth or is it a typo?).

Sorry op not a fan but if you and your partner like it that's all that matters.

It's a pretty sound but again, I think people would assume male.

Only if you would call her brother Bethan.......

I thunk of Rob Brydon aka Uncle Bryn.

*think

I don't like it at all for a girl. Just because it's used in America as a girls name doesn't make it a good idea! It also reminds me of Uncle Bryn in Gavin & Stacey. Alana is a beautiful name and Elizabeth is fine also.

oh gosh yes purpledaisies horrible typo there!! Was typing far too fast.

thanks for the input so far!

It'll always be Uncle Brynn for me. Singing Islands in the Stream with Nessa. Genius.

It's a boy's name. A big beefy bass baritone boy's name. Not really the image I'd look for a girl but it takes all sorts

No I wouldn't use it. Americans also take Irish male names and give them to females and it sounds really odd to Irish ears. There was a female actress on telly the other night called Sean. I've also heard of a female Rory and a female Aidan.

I agree it's a boys name im afraid,

Could you opt for a more feminine touch such as bryanna?/brianna (bree-anna)

Phew! Thought I'd better check...I have seen some very silly spellings of nice names on here. Elizabeth is a very pretty name.

Makes me think of the MAN in G&S. Really not a feminine name imo. Alana is nice though

Are you sure you haven't misheard it?

Brianne or Brianna are female names. Bryn is a male name. It means hill in Welsh.

It's a boys name to me, and yep reminds me of Bryn from Gavin and Stacey.

Bryn is a boy's name - sorry. This is a Bryn/n

How about Bryony instead? Or Brynja, which is a female Icelandic name.

Brynn for a girl? No.

Brienne is a cool name. Brynn not.
